The growing demand for sustainable and high-performance asphalt binders has prompted the exploration of
waste-derived modifiers. This study investigates the performance enhancement of Natural Asphalt (NA) using
Sugarcane Molasses (SM) and Waste Engine Oil (WEO). The modified blends were prepared by partially replacing
50 % NA with varying proportions of SM and WEO ranging from 10 % to 40 % of the total weight of NA.
Comprehensive testing was conducted, including penetration, softening point, ductility, viscosity, Bending Beam
Rheometer (BBR), Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that
